Small water features for the garden


The Content Of The Article:

Water enriches every garden. You do not have to dig out a pond or plan a stream - source stones, wells or small water features can be set up without much effort and do not need much space. The lively lapping calms and is also a good way to distract the ear from disturbing noises such as street noise. Many products are also equipped with small LED lights, so after dawn a great experience offers: a sparkling and sparkling water feature in the garden.

Small ornamental fountains are ready to use in no time: fill in water, connect plugs and it starts to bubble. Many manufacturers offer complete sets, pump included. Sources for the patio are usually placed in a gravel bed, underneath are hidden the water collector and the pump. This requires a bit more effort, but is good on a Saturday to create. The same applies to tubs and basins, which are equipped with a small waterfall. Of course, there are no limits to the top: For larger, bricked pools, if in doubt, get better professional help (gardeners and landscapers).

Corten steel wells should be coated with the parts that come into permanent contact with water, otherwise the water will turn brown. If necessary, switch off the pumps overnight so that rust-coated parts can dry off. Observe the manufacturer's instructions. Tip: In general, set ornamental wells in the shade, which slows down the growth of algae. Green coverings are best removed with a brush and an occasional water change helps against green floating algae. But there are also special means that provide crystal clear pleasure.

Tips for clear water

Clear water should bubble in the ornamental well. However, sunlight inevitably promotes the growth of suspended algae, which make it greenish. For pure ornamental wells there are fountain clarifiers that prevent algae formation (for example from Oase, Algo Fountain). However, these agents are toxic to all aquatic organisms - plants and animals.For mini ponds with plants, for example water lilies, algae blockers are therefore the better choice (for example from Oase, Algo Bio Protect). Even small vessels filled with water can become the hotbed of mosquitoes: the twitching larvae can usually be seen to hang close to the surface of the water. The remedy Neudomück (Neudorff) kills the larvae, but is safe for other animals, plants and humans.
